A government agency that funds services and supports for people with #disabilities living in the community will be broken up as part of a massive reorganization of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

remember what i said about RFK Jr. being a eugenicist first and foremost? www.marketwatch.com/story/agency...

This is genocidal talk like propaganda propping up other genocides The message is brown = tren de aragua Brown people = invasion Either we get this regime out of government or we will have millions of people tortured and murdered

I bought Twitter for $44,000,000,000 and sold it back to myself for $33,000,000,000. I have 43 kids and no friends. Everything I make explodes

Diversity initiatives were meant to overcome the old patterns of nepotism, so I guess it makes sense that the enemies of diversity are big fans of nepotism.

That's some shit to learn. The reason Nazis were so emboldened is BECAUSE of Jim Crow in America.

"Utah became infamous today for being the first state to ban pride flags in schools and government buildings, a harmful move that seems obviously unconstitutional and ripe for a legal challenge... We invite all Utahns to join Project Rainbow in striving for a better and more inclusive world."

I love Miyazaki's art style and would love to get a series of photos of me and family members in his style, which is why I'm asking people to STOP using the AI ghibli filter. He hates AI. They're stealing his art. You can't use it AND respect him as an artist. It is simply wrong to use.

This is an enormous scam designed to get X’s dwindling value and collateralized debts (which likely are imperiled due to Tesla’s crashing stock price) off Musk’s personal books.

@cwarzel.bsky.social: “The official X account of the White House isn’t just full of low-rent 4chan musings, it’s an alarming signal of an administration that’s fluent in internet extremism and seemingly dedicated to pursuing its casual cruelty as a chief political export.”

They had to cancel their tour because they couldn't find any citizens who wanted to meet with them and they anticipated needing overwhelming security to deal with constant protests. Seems like "the people of Greenland" have made it pretty clear who they feel is making "aggressive incursions".

Used to make sandwiches & someone would say "I'm using SNAP and can't buy a hot one" I'd say, "tell me what you want and I'll ring you for the right price but the ticket will say its a cold sandwich." We need millions of acts of subversion like this every day. Almost wish I still made sandwiches.

This is why many Black/ Indigenous people have no patience with theory or the academics who spent all their time minimizing our experiences These people centered themselves sucked up funding and when reminded who they abandon they act wounded and justify www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Of course.

"It’s not that OpenAI picked something cute and accidentally the co-founder of that studio hates. OAI picked Ghibli because Miyazaki hates their approach It is display of power: You, as artist, animator, illustrator, writer are powerless. We will take what we want & do what we want. Because we can"

As predicted, they’re coming for NMAAHC www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Utah just lost the Sundance Film Festival to Boulder, Colorado.

Also unpopular opinion, there a metric shit-ton of applications of AI that have nothing to do with engineering where non-engineers are more than abundantly qualified to have an opinion and lead the conversation around the usefulness of AI. Search, art, labor, etc...

"A WIRED review of public data exposed on Venmo accounts associated with senior administration officials suggests that the Signal group chat was not an isolated mistake, but part of a broader pattern of what national security experts describe as reckless behavior" www.wired.com/story/michae...

The future of digital sharecropping / technofeudalism

Two announcements: First: I have a youtube channel! My TikTok videos have reached a good audience, & I was convinced to find a more permanent platform. I'll be posting weekly deep-dives on particular topics, as well as more frequent shorter videos. Please subscribe! www.youtube.com/@ProfessorBe...

So, personally, I think a major element of Republican politics is convincing voters that certain groups of Americans aren't "real Americans." Trans folks, feminists, academics, Muslims, black folks, Latinos, the poor, etc.

A - This is irresponsible journalism. B - This is the natural consequence of treating everything like content for the algorithm and Twitter drive-by writeups. C - Pick three outlets you like and get their newsletter or visit their website to support journalism that isn't driven by the content mill

Signal's a great app to keep your communications secure, but make sure you know the identities of the users in your group chats. Our SSD guide on how to use Signal includes guidance on managing your group chat preferences.

Signal is a great privacy tool, but it isn’t magic. And even if you’re not discussing war plans in your group chat, it’s a good idea to know the limits of encryption. Read our piece on what Signal can—and can’t—do for you here: www.wired.com/story/encryp...

is that bad? Seems bad

WaPo: "Long waits, waves of calls, web crashes: Social Security is breaking down" www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

What I hear Mike saying is that he’s desperate

How are there less than 50,000 cybertrucks sold and half of those buyers seem to live somewhere near me omg.

Yep. Federal records. You're supposed to protect them, not delete them.

Former Utah Rep. Mia Love died Sunday after a battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, her family announced on X. Love was 49.

This Mission President, Davis Smith really doesn't have much to do huh?

So the Trump administration’s argument is that this dude, not a court, should have the final say on who ends up in an El Salvadoran prison. Does that make you feel safer in America?

I'm looking for archives that specialize in disability history. A contact has asked for helping in placing a package of letters tracing a family member's disability. Any suggestions?

oh i think this is exactly right. people care about your views but they ALSO care about whether you seem real and authentic

Sanders: Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man (Musk) can put $270 million to get Trump elected and then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government? That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Elon Musk is literally prioritizing racism and the desire to be an authoritarian over being rich. In fact, everything Trump and Elon has done so far is actually more likely to make rich people *less* wealthy...which is why they starting to get buyers remorse over the election.
